Simone Martin – CEO of CHATA’s Shoes/Handbags Factory
It was always something with family; hell, I don’t know why God chose this family for me! Aunt Betty called me at least once a week to discuss marriage and how I was sinning with Kion. Never once did she ask about my health or my business. The fact that I could possibly be happy never occurred to her. She was too stuck on why I was not living as an upright Christian.
Kion King – Plastic Surgeon
Women are so damn desperate for a man. That shit is a definite turn off. Everyday pussy is being thrown in my face as if they have no self-respect. Whatever happened to honor and having to win a woman’s heart? I ain’t trying to sound like no punk. I think about sex all the time, except when operating, playing chess or golf. I remember when men flirted with women and made them blush.
Gye Thomas – Investment Banker
No woman except Sasha could hold his attention. He loved everything about her, especially her mind. 36-24-36, caramel complexion, long black hair and big brown eyes. She wasn’t as freaky in the bed as he liked, but she excited him.
Sasha Mitchell – Attorney
“I forgave you a long time ago, I don’t hold grudges, it’s not healthy for one’s soul.”
Marvin Johnson – Judge
“Richard O’Neal, you are hereby sentenced to 175 years in the Georgia State Prison without parole for the heinous crime of rape and murder of a nine-month-old baby boy. This court is dismissed!”
Deidra Johnson – Commercial/Residential Real Estate Broker
“I’m thinking about liposuction. Hell, I need somebody to cut all this fat away. Its them damn Lay’s potato chips and bread; they just will not leave my ass alone. Genice will be leaving in August and I’m trying to deal with that too.”
Philip Reese – CEO of Philip’s Architectural Design Firm
“Terrance, baby, let’s be real clear about one thing, and If I’m not mistaken, this is our third time revisiting a non-issue. I’m married with two children and I swear no one will ever know about you and I. The question for the last time is, can you honestly handle my situation? If not, we need to end it here and now!”
Bridgette Reese – Corporate VP Manager
“I wish they all had some type of branding on their faces, so that women could see them for who they really are or let them die the hell off! Black women are dying by the thousands because of AIDS.”
Terrance Jamison – Artist
Terrance walked over to the nightstand and picked up the box. “This is for you.” Philip unwrapped the gift and removed the lid. It was a Movado watch with eighteen diamonds and a sapphire crystal. Terrance kissed Philip and said, “I missed you.”
Jackie Mills – Claims Adjuster
Jackie stood up and said, “You think that you got all the answers. Deidra, you ain’t happy in your mansion with your judge husband. Both of y’all been faking the funk from day one!”
